everyone offers their idea of happiness
desirous to believe
                   that it is real
hoping beyond hope that they have found it
       knowing, but questioning
that they are different from the others
    playing a game
        assuming a character
while making others think
    that they are the anomaly
            of what truly is

there is no true happiness
                     no real satisfaction

     and accepting that?

the sooner the better

make due with what you have
consummate what is offered to you
live the life that you are comfortable with
without fears
without lies
without obstruction
and you too
can redefine
the definition of happy.
